Chapter 186: Inquiring about the news
The three of them stood on the corridor of Bailongsi, looking at Yun Huachun who was saying goodbye at the door.
Having accomplished such a great feat, not only was he not proud of himself, he did not even want any reward.
Everyone is happy to see you!
"The dean is a rare gentleman." Hu Yue commented.
Li Qianchen got together with a few people and had just received the official promotion document.
They also deserve credit for offering these sweet potatoes.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be extremely happy.
But when facing Yun Huachun, he was more or less ashamed.
"Mr. Li, we were promoted because of the dean. Do you think we should prepare some gifts or other things for the dean?" Hu Yue asked.
Li Qianchen stood behind the two of them, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded.
"What Mr. Hu said is helpful, but I think that if it is an ordinary gift, the dean will definitely not be willing to accept it directly."
"Why don't you, Dean, have a meal and think about other things?"
The two nodded, "Master Li is absolutely right."
Since the three of them were promoted together, their relationship seems to have become much closer.
"What about the little gentleman? Do you want to prepare some congratulatory gifts? In fact, I have been thinking about it a few days ago, just wondering if this is an appropriate etiquette." Hua Xiu asked, stroking his beard.
When Li Qianchen mentioned Mr. Little, the girl who stood at the door of the house waving when he left that day suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"You and I are men after all. It's not appropriate to give gifts to the little gentleman rashly. Why not buy some paint for the little gentleman."
"Mr. Li is really amazing. I didn't think of anything to give you for several days, but you woke me up right away."
"Then I will go to the street tomorrow to see if there is any shop that sells paint and buy some." Hua Xiu said with a beaming eyebrow.
Li Qianchen saw that Yunhua Chunren had passed the threshold and withdrew his gaze.
How could he figure it out immediately?
He also thought about it for a long time.
Or maybe I thought of it a long time ago.
Although Nantong is rich, it is still not as good as the capital.
Many pigments are made from ground gemstones. They are not available in Nantong Prefecture, nor can they get a complete set of colors.
He then thought that when he came to the capital this time, he would bring a set for the little gentleman.
Several of them sent it together, which was a good reason, and it was more appropriate than him sending it alone.
Yun Huachun got up early the next day and made an appointment with Zhong Da to have breakfast at a restaurant in the capital.
Yun Huiyan often had to attend morning court, so he did not eat with his family.
After washing up every day, he hurriedly eats a bowl of porridge, then carries two steamed cakes or boiled eggs before going to court.
But today is a little different from the past.
Yesterday, when he returned home, the housekeeper brought him a robe given to him by his grandson.
The robe is said to be made of goose feathers and is extremely light when worn on the body.
Yun Huiyan tried it on in his house and found that it was indeed very light. Perhaps because there were many stoves in the house, he didn't feel very warm.
Walking on the road to Shangchao today, I felt really light.
Compared with cotton clothes and leather jackets, it is extremely light.
Secondly, there is the issue of keeping warm.
The wind was very strong today, but it didn't feel cold at all.
Especially when going to court, when everyone was crowded in the main hall, Yun Huiyan actually felt a little hot.
When he heard the emperor sitting on the dragon throne arguing with the ministers in front of him, Yun Huiyan rarely became distracted.
However, after going to court, Yun Huiyan took off his official uniform in the yamen. The lower official next to him looked at him several times and finally spoke.
"Master Yun, there is something stuck on your body."
Yun Huiyan looked around with wide eyes after hearing this, and finally found a white fluff in his sleeve.
"Oh, you said this!"
Yun Huiyan looked at the soft goose feathers in his hands and smiled.
It is normal for clothes made of goose down to shed goose down when worn.
"Your Majesty, your clothes are a little thinner than usual. It has been colder in recent days. You should pay attention to your health!" a subordinate on the side reminded.
Yun Huiyan shook his head, the smile on his face never ending.
"You should also take care of your health!"
After Yun Huachun went to the agreed restaurant, he called the waiter and ordered a lot of food.
I ordered a lot of steamed buns and dim sum, including steamed pancakes and pancakes.
"Wait until another guest arrives before serving!" Yun Huachun said.
The menu is a bamboo raft hanging on the wall, and each dish is written on it.
He ordered while looking at them, remembering the names of certain dishes in his mind and packing them back for his wife and children to try later.
"Uncle Zhong, you're here!" Yun Huachun looked at the figure appearing at the door and stepped forward happily.
Zhong Da walked into the restaurant in the cold wind wearing a dark blue robe.
"I ordered some food first. Uncle Zhong, what do you want to eat? Shall we add some?" Yun Huachun said with a smile. The two of them are already very familiar with each other, so there is no need for so many formalities.
"I trust your skill in ordering!" Zhong Da said with a smile.
Along the way, he ate a lot of things from the Yun family.
Although Zhong Da had tasted a lot of delicacies in the palace, when he recalled the days of his escape, it seemed that the food he ate was no worse than what he had eaten in the palace.
It’s not that the ingredients are so exotic, but that the cooks are extremely skilled.
Not only Lady Yun can do it, but the people in front of you can also do it.
"Okay, I'll take you upstairs." Yun Huachun said, leading Zhong Da forward.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the waiter kept passing plates into the room, and all the dishes Yun Huachun ordered were served.
"This bun is the signature bun of the store. Uncle Zhong, try it." Yun Huachun said, and took one himself.
The buns are small and delicate, and the filling seems to be made of crispy things like bamboo shoots, sandwiched with fresh meat.
Huachun couldn't tell what kind of Yun Huachun it was, but he just felt that the meat juice was filling his mouth when he bit it, and it was so delicious.
There are no fried dough sticks for breakfast in Dajin, but there are also fried foods.
Cut the fresh noodles into thin pieces and fry them in a pan, or fry them in very thin sheets.
They also have them there, like the kind of crispy chips added to pancakes and fruits. Yun Huachun can't pronounce the name.
He ordered another pancake, and asked the restaurant to prepare several kinds of pickles and meat sauce for him, and put all these things into the roll.
Fresh, crispy and can be eaten in one bite.
"Uncle Zhong, try it, it tastes pretty good." Yun Huachun said.
Zhong Da followed Yun Huachun's example and ate, and could only sigh in his heart that the Yun family really knew how to eat.
The two of them finished their breakfast attentively, ordered a pot of hot tea and started chatting.
"Xian'er has probably not been back to the capital for several years. When will Uncle Zhong take Xian'er back?" Yun Huachun chatted for a long time and suddenly brought the topic to Xian'er.
"There is no need to worry about Xian'er's matter. The Emperor and the Queen Mother feel that it is very reassuring to entrust the child to you." Zhong Da said, taking a sip of tea.
But Yun Huachun didn't want to drive Jiang Xian away. He wanted to ask about the situation in the prince's mansion.
"Then why don't you tell the prince?"
"This matter..." Zhong Da said and sighed.
"Zhan'er's biological mother passed away early, and the prince had to deal with government affairs... He couldn't raise Zhan'er by himself." Zhong Da hesitated.
